Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (Preferably Organic)
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 2 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoon Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil (melted)
  • Pinch of Himalayan / Celtic Salt

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Then, combine 2 cups of oats, ¼ cup of shredded coconut, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
  • Next, stir in 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup. Mix well, making sure the oats are evenly coated.
  • Once all the ingredients are combined, spread evenly onto your parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through (at about 7 minutes) for an even bake. Once your granola has slightly browned to a golden colour, it is ready to be removed from the oven.
    The coconut will begin to brown first, and the oats will take on a slight golden hue. Don't worry if they don't look toasty enough, they will continue to cook and crisp up as they cool.
  • After you remove your granola from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes before handling.
  • When your granola is cool enough to handle, transfer it into an airtight glass jar or container and store at room temperature.

Notes

This Homemade Granola can last up to two months if properly sealed and stored. However, it is best consumed within four weeks and may start to lose its freshness after about three weeks.
You can also freeze this granola for up to three months! Although, freezing may slightly reduce the crunchiness.
